The Experience of Implementation of Innovative Technology of Quarry Waste Water Purifying in Kuzbass Open Pit

Among all industries in Kuzbass (Western Siberia, Russia) the coal industry provides the most environmental threat. However, the construction of new and maintenance of existing open pit mines do not often correspond to the tasks of improving the environmental safety of surface mining. So the article describes the use of innovative quarry waste water purifying technology implemented in Kuzbass open pit mine "Shestaki". This technology is based on using artificial filter arrays made of overburden rock

Innovative Technics of Managing Engineers' Global Competencies

Higher education modernization in the CIS countries takes place under the conditions of dynamic changes in economy and society. These changes are determined by the social and economic development of the country and the world globalization processes - cross-border intercultural communication, knowledge transparency, and the establishment of information society. Educational globalization is a continuous process of creating a unified global educational system, in which the distinctions between its member educational systems are being blended

Rational Use of Land Resource During the Implementation of Transportless System of Coal Strata Surface Mining

Surface mining and open pits engineering affect the environment in a very negative way. Among other pollutions that open pits make during mineral deposits exploiting, particular problem is the landscape changing. Along with converting the land into pits, surface mining is connected with pilling dumps that occupy large ground. The article describes an analysis of transportless methods of several coal seams strata surface mining, applied for open pits of South Kuzbass coal enterprises (Western Siberia, Russia). To improve land-use management of open pit mining enterprises, the characteristics of transportless technological schemes for several coal seams strata surface mining are highlighted and observed. These characteristics help to systematize transportless open mining technologies using common criteria that characterize structure of the bottom part of a strata and internal dumping schemes. The schemes of transportless systems of coal strata surface mining implemented in South Kuzbass are given

Thermal imaging study to determine the operational condition of a conveyor belt drive system structure

The paper discusses the results of a study carried out to determine the thermal condition of a conveyor power unit using a thermal imaging camera. The tests covered conveyors in the main haulage system carrying coal from a longwall. The measurements were taken with a thermal imaging diagnostic method which measures infrared radiation emitted by an object. This technology provides a means of assessing the imminence and severity of a possible failure or damage. The method is a non-contact measuring technique and offers great advantages in an underground mine. The thermograms were analysed by comparing the temperature distribution. An analysis of the operating time of the conveyors was also carried out and the causes of the thermal condition were determined. The main purpose of the research was to detect changes in thermal state during the operation of a belt conveyor that could indicate failure and permit early maintenance and eliminate the chance of a fire. The article also discusses the construction and principle of operation of a thermal imaging camera. The findings obtained from the research analysis on determining the thermal condition of the conveyor drive unit are a valuable source of information for the mine's maintenance service.Web of Science1411art. no. 325

От тройной к пятеричной спирали: эволюция методологии развития инновационной экономики

The presented paper deals with an approach to the evolution of methodology of economy innovative development from the standpoint of analyzing the interaction of its actors – from a Triple to a Penta Helix. The article proposes the provisions for such a methodology based on expanding the range of actors of innovative development as public interests shift from the emergence of a free enterprise economy to a socially oriented knowledge economy and further to a balanced and environmentally friendly production and consumption. A special role in the presented approach is given to the analysis of the place of universities in the fivefold spiral of innovative transformation of economy – as a creator of sustainable development values. The authors proved that the Penta Helixis the result of the evolution of the Quadruple Helix in the conditions of increasing the values of sustainable development. In turn, the core of the QuadrupleHelix– the Triple Helix– acts as the core in the Penta Helix. The article highlights three varieties of the TripleHelix model that is dominant today in industrialized countries, shows their connection with the peculiarities of the innovative development of the Russian economy. On this basis, it was concluded that the progress in building the Penta Helix of innovative development in Russia depends on the emergence of new actors – the subjects of the green economy and civil society, and the full expression of their economic interestsВ представленной статье рассматривается подход к эволюции методологии развития инновационной экономики с позиций анализа взаимодействия ее акторов – от тройной к пятеричной спирали. В статье предлагаются положения методологии, основанной на расширении круга акторов инновационного развития по мере смещения общественного интереса от становления экономики свободного предпринимательства к социально ориентированной экономике знаний и далее – к сбалансированному и экологически безопасному производству и потреблению. Особая роль в представленном подходе отводится анализу места университетов в пятеричной инновационной трансформации экономики – как создателей ценностей устойчивого развития. Авторы доказали, что пятеричная спираль является результатом эволюции четверной спирали инноваций в условиях повышения роли ценностей устойчивого развития. В свою очередь, ядро четверной спирали – тройная спираль – действует и как ядро пятеричной спирали. В статье выделены три разновидности модели тройной спирали, доминирующей сегодня в промышленно развитых странах, показана их связь с особенностями инновационного развития российской экономики. На этом основании сделан вывод, что прогресс в формировании пятеричной спирали инновационного развития в России зависит от появления новых акторов – субъектов зеленой экономики и гражданского общества, полноты выражения их экономических интересо

To the theoretical concept of the economic policy of structural shift

The persistence ofthe negative effects of structural shift in Russian economy is manifested in its de-industrialization, reduction of global competitiveness and the threat of technological identity loss. The initiation of a positive structural shift requires the formation of an economic structural policy, the core of which will be a change in the reproductive proportions during the development ofthe innovation-and-investment interrelations between government and business. The authors analyze approaches to the formation of economic policies aimed at ensuring a positive structural shift, impeding its implementation in Russian economy, and suggest its main conceptual provisions
